Start close in...

To journey is to take a trip in and out of oneself, to engage with others and see how they live. Every new experience and landscape reaches into unknown parts of us. It encourages us to see the world through eyes wide-open, to embrace it and feel our belonging.

Travel is deliciously transformative. It cooks us in a good way, like fire and salt. To engage with other cultures through food is primal. It’s deeply connecting to break bread and stir a pot in an unknown land with a trusted insider.

Step into our global conversation for a glimpse of “ordinary magic.” Drop beneath the surface. Savor these destinations with pleasure and curiosity. Our table is waiting in far flung fields, wine estates, villas, villages, on boats, in homes and on the streets.

We could not be more pleased to receive the Condé Nast Traveler Top Travel Specialists Award for 2026 for 6 years in a row. Travel brings us alive. Breaking bread with other cultures is a meaningful way to understand the delicious richness of our world

Condé Nast Traveler’s Top Specialists is an accolade given to a select group of the best global experts in travel. Peggy’s inclusion illustrates the work she and her team have put in to providing extraordinary, slow food travel experiences.

“Peggy Markel is a creative and all around beautiful being. She paints the most amazing adventures with care, experience, and a team of locals to inform, and guide. She weaves in history & poems like she’s adding ginger & chilies to a Dal recipe. The accommodation was spectacular, and the local guide Nicky was a deep well of history and insights to local culture”
